A Few Pictures

I seldom take pictures.  Don’t know why.  I like pictures.  But I also like simplicity and most cameras for me don’t fall in that category.  So I usually rely on pictures other people take.

The first 3 pictures are of some of our BOOST training graduates involved in Bible study.  Our current batch of trainees spend several hours each day in agricultural and Bible training, with the goal of returning to their homes to help their communities with both physical and spiritual needs.  Please pray with us for these trainees and our previous graduates that they will remain faithful to God’s calling and diligent to grow in their relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
    
 The next 4 pictures were taken 2 weeks ago when 100 dolls made by ladies from Putnam City Baptist Church in Oklahoma City were given out to needy children from Agaho, a village nearly destroyed by  typhoon Haiyan a couple of years ago.  Please pray for Pastor Ronald and our other volunteers who minister there every Saturday. Pray for the children, their parents, and for leaders to rise from the newly formed church.


The last 2 pictures are of me at a Bible study, and a morning sunrise lighting the way for fishermen as the make their way to work.  Well, at least I can take a picture when I think about it!

Mark, love your pictures and the comments. We trust that you are doing well. We know the Lord is using you as you witness and share the Word with Filipinos - who are dear to our hearts. We have a great grandson who is 19 months old today- another granddaughter and hubby are expecting twins in late May or early June!! May the Lord's richest blessings be yours today and every day. Bob and Jan

Thank you, Jan, for your continued prayers. You and Bob had a tremendous impact on Filipinos when you were here. May our Lord's blessings continue to follow you.
